76 Chapter 76: Facing an Ambush! (Part 1)
Xin Yan looked at Elysia with a puzzled expression, just a while ago she was sitting there in silence and now she was suddenly looking somewhere and smirking.
Shrugging it off, she took a sip of the tea she had brewed for them. Elysia was also drinking the tea while floating in the air.
She had to admit that this hateful woman was beautiful, especially now that her green hair was shining brightly under the elegant moonlight.
"I don't swing that way."
Elysia suddenly turned to look at her and spoke in a plain tone. Hearing her words Xin Yan was stunned at first before a vein popped on her head.
*Crack*
The cup in her hand cracked because of the force she was using. 'Calm down Xin Yan. CALM DOWN. She just wants to get inside your head..' Elysia just smiled seeing Xin Yan's body trembling in anger.
'That's what you get for doubting Noah. He might not mind your actions but I will not let it slide easily. After all he is my first~~'
She was doing these acts of annoying Xin Yan on purpose. Although she sympathized with Xin Yan because of how difficult her life was, it did not mean she could take advantage of Noah's kindness.
She was well aware that everything Xin Yan was thinking either was about Long Tian or her revenge. She wanted Xin Yan to realize that she had much more to see around her than just revenge.
Xin Yan was a nice woman but to her family was the top priority and she had just met Noah for a few months. For this reason Elysia thought of making her accept Noah as her family, so she would help him when needed.
Elysia turned her head to see the familiar figure of Noah making his way towards them and she moved towards him while swaying in the air.
Noah arrived at the resting place and the first thing that greeted him was the sly grin on the face of mature beauty. Even though she knew how to act like an adult or even more proper than some adults, Elysia liked to act like this in front of Noah. "Welcome back, looks like you enjoyed your trip~" "Don't make me remember it... Ughh!" Noah grumbled while sitting down, he saw that there was a cup of tea placed on the small table on the ground.
Picking the tea up Noah sipped it to calm his mind down. What he did not know was that Elysia had drunk from that cup before..
14:13
Seeing Noah drinking tea from her cup, Elysia smiled faintly as she subconsciously touched her cherry lips.
Xin Yan also looked at Noah with an unreadable expression in her eyes.
"This tea is refreshing~" Noah placed the half finished cup of tea down on the table and smiled in satisfaction.
Elysia approached the table and drowned the rest of the tea in the cup in one go. Drops of tea trickled down her cheeks as moonlight shined on her face.
She saw Noah looking at her with raised eyebrows and gracefully placed the cup down on the table and looked him in the eyes.
"That was my cup of tea~~"
She spoke with a slight smile along with her limpid eyes taking Noah's breath away. Noah took a second to appreciate the beautiful scene in front of him and smiled.
"Sorry about that!" With a calm look on his face he picked up another cup of tea and poured herself another cup.
Xin Yan silently watched their interaction, feeling a little bitter inside her heart. It was the feeling singles would feel when they see a couple being lovey-dovey in front of them. (A/N: Definitely not cringe!)
She closed her eyes and sipped the tea to calm her heart and mind. "We might meet some of your acquaintances." Suddenly Noah Turned towards Xin Yan and spoke with an amused tone.
She simply cast him a confused glance hearing those words. After he recounted what had happened she gained a clarity in her eyes along with a trace of killing intent.
"It was a long time ago, probably when Long Tian had just turned 8. We went to take a stroll to the market together but our quiet time was interrupted…."
Xin Yan how some men were trying to argue with the local alchemist to buy his pills at a cheaper rate but since they were in the city they could not take actions recklessly. They threatened the store owner that they would make his life miserable once he got out of the city. When these two men turned to leave their eyes landed on Xin Yan who was purchasing some goods nearby. Long Tian had been accompanying her silently with a cold look on his face.
"They stopped our way and demanded that I follow him back. Since Long Tian was with me I did not do much and sent him flying into the wall. He was merely a rogue bandit back then but later he got some kind of backing and broke through the peak Qi Condensation Realm what In those years." Xin Yan was using an array that was suppressing her Cultivation to the peak of Qi Condensation Realm at that time. So everyone thought of her to be the cultivator of the said realm..
Noah calmly listened as she continued her story.
"After that I rarely went out because our situation in the clan changed but I heard that he still looked for me. He seems to be infuriated with me. Don't worry I will take care of him once we leave this forest."
Noah did not think much about it and agreed.
"People are weird in this world. He wants to have you just because you thrashed him once. I think he just wants to show his dominance. It's kind of disgusting.."
Noah commented with a hint of disgust in his eyes. He remembered the nobles from his past life. Especially the corrupt ones, they would do anything to oppress the people who dared to go against them.
Xin Yan did not say anything but silently watched the moon in the sky.
